MLST Databases
MLST databases contain the reference allele sequences and sequence types for each organism, and also isolate epidemiological data. The websites contain interrogation and analysis software which allow users to query their allele sequences and sequence types. MLST is widely used as a tool for researchers and public healthcare workers.
The majority of MLST databases are hosted at 2 web servers currently located at Imperial College, London (mlst.net) and in Oxford University (pubmlst.org).
The databases hosted at each site are different and hold the organism specific reference allele sequences and lists of STs for individual organisms.
